- OPOrset Pr3 days ago5.0This location is the best on Ottawa. The food comes out very good and the service is spectacular. Milad took very good care of us and made us feel at home. Very attentive for refills, anything we needed, and pretty helpful with the menu. This place is very good for a nice dinner out with family and friends.
- PRpatricia Righi3 days ago5.0We always come here, the Italian wedding soup makes the trip worth it on its own ! Tonight we were served by George, what a patient and kind man ! Our toddler was overwhelmed with a busy day and started to have a bit of a meltdown, George stayed kind and awesome despite it all ! Look forward to sitting in his section again, highly recommend!
- VVVIJan 3, 20265.0We went here (party of 3) on New year's Day. This is our first time at this location and our experience was great! The food was very fresh! The bread was freshly baked and warm, the tomato soup was very tasty and the cannelloni was great! I was surprised at how great the food quality was for a "chain restaurant". The taste and freshness of the food rivalled those of fancier restaurants! The same goes with the service! The same goes with the service. Our server (unfortunately, I do not remember his name) was very attentive and so polite!! He kept checking on us, and genuinely wanted to ensure we enjoyed our meal! We have rarely had such great service at any restaurant. Looks like the management is doing a great job running this place! We absolutely loved it, and will most certainly come back again!!
- RJRiley JJDec 31, 20255.0Had a great time tonight for New Years Eve dinner. Our waiter Dave- was amazing- fast, friendly, remembered all the kids preferences. Food was great quality- brought us lots of refills on bread, salad, and drinks. Prices were great too! Staff came around to check in- offered free ginger ale for a toast at 6pm, gave kids new years props like blow horns, and crowns to wear, and sang happy birthday to our daughter. Dave offered her free dessert and had her spin for free drink on next visit. It was a great evening and we will be back soon. Thank you Dave and rest of staff!
- RRRyan Binsell (Rybinseller)Dec 30, 20255.0Food was great, as expected, at East Side’s, but what truly made our visit superb was our server, Dave. As a vegan, I noticed the menu didn’t clearly specify options; however, Dave went above and beyond. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, suggested thoughtful substitutions with ease, and made sure I had great choices without any hassle. He was also fantastic with the kids. On our way out, my nephew said, “I hope when we come back Dave will be here again!” which definitely earns bonus points. Outstanding service, warm energy, and a genuinely memorable experience thanks to Dave.
